Bought these bells to add a different type of sound/sauce to my percussion set up (congas,bongos etc). These are (in my opinion) the pros and the cons of these small but nice bells:
Pros:
Well Made, small size bells.
The bells threads came white (not red as shown on the picture). No biggie since I felt that white blended better with my normal set up.
Nice weight and feel since I played the bells with my hands NOT with my ankles.
Great sound for recordings and/or acoustic settings (accents,effects,ambience)
Cons:
Don't expect a loud,cutting sound from these bells. It would get lost in the mix if used in a live non-mic'ed situation.
If you're looking to add something different, with a great sound and just enough sweetness and sauciness, turn your eyes upon these item.
It would not disappoint!
P.S As always Thomann's service was superb,fast and reliable!
